Autechre EP7

http://pselodux.bandcamp.com/track/zeiss-contarex

EP7 is by far my favourite Ae... pir, dropp, netlon sentinel, rpeg.... absolutely mind blowing stuff.

After a couple of weeks of listening to EP7 and LP5 in my car, I have concluded that

 

EP7 > LP5

this is my second favo(u)rite autechre

Haha, I just realized the Dropp's loop is 5 measures of 7/8. Funny, that's one of their best basslines/melodies. So tasty.

Probably my favorite release. Had to special order this from a local record shop.

Probably the only AE that I dislike/haven't gotten into. Just doesn't do anything for me, save for Pir. It's like a collection of random sounds that go on for an hour.

 

I've given it 4 full-time spins it seems, according to Last.fm, and that's not much really. Time to give it fifth..

^ get into 'dat groooove' when you get to Dropp

i think ep7 and lp5 are pretty similar both awesome!! except for that song with the rap guy whose all glitchy that song isnt very good imo but whatever

Ccec - Autechre feat. The Rap Guy

Dropp is great too, I give you that. Stood out from the rest. Still got bored towards the end, althought it did sound a lot better as a whole than before. Perhaps I bought into the hype in this thread. Edited December 5, 2011 by 40days

tracks 2-7 are ok. rest of the album is typical autechreawesome

The end is the best part though! Maybe listen to the first and second half as separate EPs as was originally intended. I sometimes like it better that way.

i fuckin love ccec. how can you not love ccec? fuck you if you dont like ccec.

first autechre release i ever purchased. i love this record.

I don't like Maphive6.1

 

Can't get into, seems to go on forever. The rest of the album is fantastic though and that one falls under "okay," not terrible.

I can't usually stand ccec, but apart from that I love it.

The first time I listened to EP7 I couldn't get into it. I dunno, it seemed weaker than Ae's other stuff. Over the years I've had that period of growing appreciation typical of Autechre's work, but it still doesn't have the same effect as the fuck-off orgasmaglitches that are Chiastic Slide, LP5 and Confield.

 

Each individual track is awesome in its own way, but EP7 really does feel like a good EP, as opposed to a perfect album. It's like the approach is more "let's see what we can do with these sounds" instead of "we're going to make the best music we can make".

 

Overall, it's awesome, but not quite as close to perfection as the other material from that era.

That's how I feel about the latest Gescom vinyl, maybe its supposed to sound lose and off the cuff. Recorded in 1 take

their most abstract release, and (therefore) most interesting, I would say. that's not to say i think it's their best outpt, though.

Great album. and yes, Ccec needs more love.

this is my one of if not the best autechre eps, i like the evil sounds from ep7, imho i think oversteps was not as evil. although not sure why i am comparing the two releases, but definitely classic autechre here, the eps envane, cichli suite and ep 7 are great - that time period in auteche sound, to me, defines it to me. defined the autechre style. they had a raw live feel.

I agree but I don't see that as a bad thing. If anything that seems more sincere/honest to me than something really pored-over and painstakingly constructed. Not saying that's always necessarily better, just different.

maphive and zeiss are the crux on this album. something so strange going on. lovely.
